Chapter 115: The Brookside Wilderness
When the eldest son saw this, he took two steps and took the chisel with his father, and continued to shake it.
When it was shaking, I suddenly felt that the steel drill was blocked by something. Immediately afterwards, they heard a terrible "whine" sound, louder than the one they had heard before, because it was right in front of them.
Then there was a hand or something slapping on the stump, and the sound was so loud that everyone was terrified, and their legs went limp.
Seeing this formation, the dog and the little wolf also bared their teeth and the mane on their neck stood straight up, and barked out of the cave, helping their master in this way. Seeing that the effect had been achieved, the father and eldest son slowly pulled the steel drill back.
After a while, the sound of flapping was gone, and it seemed that the animal outside the cave had retreated, but it did not hear the sound of walking.
However, it doesn't matter, there is no danger for the time being.
The father probably burned the leg of the eagle tooth, it was a very bulky fellow, the size of two or three bears, with a hard shell like a turtle on his back, a fierce temperament, like to fight with each other, if he slapped it, it was more dangerous than being slapped by a bear, and if he was kicked by it, the average animal was basically not good.
However, because it is too bulky, if it turns over and lies down, it will not be able to turn over and stand up on its own, and at that time it can only be slaughtered, and a small animal can bully it.
Sure enough, after a while, I heard a snorting sound from outside the cave, which must have scalded the carved tooth to the ground.
With such a big guy guarding the door, it is estimated that no other animal will dare to come over tonight to be curious.
The father was relieved, and everyone was weak and sat down on the ground.
The father was trying to let the children go to sleep, and then he felt that this was inappropriate, who knew what strange things would come out in the middle of the night, so it was better to be careful, so he said that the eldest son should go to sleep and rest, and he and the second son would stand guard.
After the father told the second son about the situation of the carved tooth beast, the second son was relieved, it was really scary just now, and scared the dog and the little wolf like that.
After this toss, the father and son were also a little hungry, so the second son cut two pieces of meat from the side, put them on with two or three sticks, and sprinkled them with some fine salt, took one in his own hand, handed one to his father, and saw that the dog and the little wolf were also looking at him, so he handed over the meat in his hand to his father and asked him to roast it together, and he wanted to roast it for the little ones to eat.
When the barbecue was finished and the dog and wolf were fed, the father felt that the sky outside was slowly brightening, and a trace of gray light came in, and when he looked out of the lookout, it was no longer pitch black, but gray.
The father stood up and stretched, and was about to push the door out, but the second son hurriedly grabbed it, and the father suddenly felt that it was inappropriate, so it was better to wait for the dawn to go out.
The second son then woke up the eldest son and told him to stand guard and make breakfast, and he and his father needed to be confused for a while, and then went to sleep.
After breakfast, the genius is bright.
My father discussed with the two of them where to go today, because they didn't want to live here anymore. The children said that they should continue to go down and see what it was like below, which was also what they had thought about when they went out the day before yesterday.
My father said, "Then pack up your things."
After a bag of cigarettes, they set out, and before they set out, they had blocked the entrance to the cave with a stump, so that they could continue to use it when they returned.
The road to the day before yesterday is still over one platform after another, and there may be no road where you want to go today, everyone has enough preparation in their hearts, but when they go down, they find that although there is no road to continue, there is a sand and gravel belt next to the creek that has been meandering down, and it is also very easy to walk, but in some places the sand is hard under it, which will sprain the foot, and in some places it is a sand nest when you step on it, which makes people fall into it and startle.
Strange to say, I don't know where the sand came from.
In the distance, there are some herons standing in the water, their high legs very conspicuous. On both sides of the road continued to be dense and deep forests, and they were larger than the trees above, and the forests were deeper and denser, and there were occasional footprints of birds and beasts on the sand, or droppings left behind.
The three cubs walked while carefully looking at both sides of the road, at this time the ravine was already very open, and the distance between the two sides was more than ten or twenty zhang wide.
The dog and the wolf took the initiative to split into two paths, one way to explore the way, and at the same time howl loudly to scare away other dangerous big animals, and followed all the way behind, turning around from time to time to see if there were any big animals following.
After two hours of walking, the sand gradually decreased, and the snow became much lighter, except for the occasional snow in a few places, and in other places it was the same as autumn.
I felt that when noon came, my father would have to arrange a place to spend the night, or it would be too late.
My father looked around, and there was nothing but deep bushes and uneven fields by the stream.
Looking at both sides of the river, there are also bottomless woods, and it is impossible to find a ready-made place to spend the night in them.
What to do? Decisions must be made quickly. After discussing with the children, the father decided to find a slightly flatter place to build a house with a slight backing hill root for the night.
Although the surrounding bushes were deep, they did not grow tall after all, and they looked around and soon found a suitable place.
When they came to the front, they found that there was a deep pit next to it, which was as deep as half a house, and if they were to remodel it slightly, that is, add a cover, and then clean up the bottom to live in, which would save a lot of time.
The pit is surrounded by stones and sand, and it is estimated that it is relatively solid, so there will be no problem for ordinary animals to attack.
All three of them looked at the place at a glance, and they all thought the same idea, and they said it almost at the same time, and everyone laughed for a while.
After the place is optimistic, it is the division of labor.
This time, everyone worked together to cut the wood first, and then build the top together after cutting the wood.
Once the top is set, a layer of stones and sand is placed on top.
The roof is reserved for a person-sized place, which can enter the sand pit from the outside, but this place is covered by two large logs, just lift one end of the log to the side when you come out, and continue to cover it after going down, other animals generally can't find it, even if you find it, it takes a lot of effort, and the gap between the logs can also be defended with wooden spears and steel drills, and the safety is no problem.
After the roof is set up, it is time to chop firewood, first find dry firewood, then chop wet firewood, and all of them are cut into half a person's length, so that it is easy to stack neatly in the pit and not occupy too much space.
When the firewood was ready, and it was overcast again, and it seemed that it was going to be windy and snowy again, they hurried to work, tidying up the sandpits, not only leveling them, but also filling the gaps with gravel, and striking them hard with hoes, and tamping the stones to prevent any small animals from coming out of these places and making them frightening.
Keep all the dogs and wolves on guard outside the pit and bark in case of an emergency or when you spot a big animal. As the sky slowly darkened, a blazing fire was already lit up in the stone pit, and the meat and vegetables in the pot were tumbling, and the pit was full of fragrance.
All the dogs and wolf cubs also went down to the sand pit to rest and be on guard. If the dogs stay outside, it's really useless to call the police early or something.
Everyone took turns to have dinner, and it was time to stand guard again at night.
Time flies, everyone seems to have just come out of that hole, but today we are here for the night, which is really interesting.
